    Transubstantiation is kind of in the Bible. Matthew 26:26-28

    While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

    Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

    The discussion of transubstantiation is just how literal “my body/blood” is.

      Transubstantiation is the doctrine that it ceases being bread and wine. Which St Paul kind of debunks in his first letter to the Corinthians at Chapter 11, where he refers to it as bread.

      “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”

      What you’re talking about is consubstantiation, which is where the body and blood physically coexist in the bread and wine, which can be derived from the Bible.

        Is it possible Paul is referring to the accidents, not the substance?
